The selling point on this show for me? The fact that I’m Wiccan. So I approached The Secret Circle with intrigue and…I loved the pilot.
Full Story »True Blood: And When I Die
Black people on True Blood just don’t get to have nice things. Laffy doesn’t get to keep his boyfriend. Tara doesn’t get to keep her boyfriend, her girlfriend, or her MMA career. They both start asserting themselves only to get in a tight spot from which only Sookie can save them.
Full Story »True Blood: Soul of Fire
Awesome Pam and Jessica need to have their own spin-off show. I’m thinking a road trip series that’s a cross between On the Road with Austin and Santino, The Fugitive, and Gilmore Girls.
Full Story »True Blood: Burning Down the House
I’m a little in love with Terry Bellefleur. And John is a little in love with redheads wearing corsets, wielding bazookas.
Full Story »True Blood: Let’s Get Out of Here
I have so many problems right now. Leading my problems is the usual: Sookie, being a selfish dick, showing absolutely no gratitude for Alcide plucking her from the battle. There’s also the problem of Tara needing to be rescued by her white friend (which will likely lead to an apology on Tara’s part at the [...]

Alan Ball, you’re relying way too much on rape to develop your characters. Seriously, dude. There’s a lot of rape in your show. It’s gross. Please stop.

True Blood: If You Love Me, Why am I Dyin’
Beyond Eric’s hiphuggers, his storyline is the only one I’m interested in this week. Not even so much because I care about what’s happening to him. Wide-eyed, puppy dog Eric is just fun to watch. He’s a thousand year old Viking and he’s giggling at having his feet tickled. Cute.
Full Story »True Blood: You Smell Like Dinner
I’ve been trying to figure out just what the hell my problem is with True Blood lately, other than Eric looking like he’s suffering some wasting away syndrome and Sookie’s general unpleasantness. And it all came down to balance. I’m really wondering about the normie to paranormie ratio in the Sookie-verse. There are probably more [...]
Full Story »True Blood: She’s Not There
Why does everyone insist on treating Awesome Pam like crap? Don’t they know she’s awesome? Listen up, Alan Ball. Awesome Pam needs her own storyline. She’s not just Eric’s appendage. I’m happy to trade a character for her. Take Sam out of the picture. Or maybe Arlene. Whoever, just give me more Awesome Pam. Awesome Pam and Cersei Lannister should have their own cross-over spinoff mini-series. It could be called “Sneers”.
Full Story »This is What a Terrible Comic Book Show Looks Like
For those of you who like it, feel free to revel in this sub-par comic book potpourri. For anyone who enjoys quality comic book films, stay away from this like the black goo that turned Eddie Brock into Venom. In the second episode of The Cape, Farraday says about his dedication, “My family is not my weakness, they’re my strength.” My strength is my remote when I turn this off.
Full Story »True Blood: Evil is Going On
Sookie is finally acting the way I’ve wanted her to since the beginning. She’s telling off vampires, schooling Bill in the fact that he doesn’t own her, generally dropping the damsel act. Look at her with carrying on with Russell, all spunky-like!
Full Story »True Blood: Fresh Blood
I feel like there would have been more tension at the end of this episode if I didn’t know True Blood had already been renewed for a fourth season. Remember when we didn’t know? And how tense that was? I’m wondering if one of the things that made some older season finales so great was that we didn’t know if it was actually coming back. Here, we know. True Blood will be back next summer, which means that Sookie will live, along with either Bill Compton or Eric Northman or both. Russell will most likely die the true death to make room for a new Big Bad (based on novel #4, I’m guessing it will be a coven of V-drinking witches), which is unfortunate. I already love Russell.
Full Story »True Blood: I Smell A Rat
Why do I get so bored when the cast of True Blood spends the entire episode talking? Is it because they’re trash?
Full Story »True Blood: Everything is Broken
Oh, god, the crying was so bad in this ep. I was moving along OK until that scene in the police department with that terrible actress “crying” her eyes out. There were no tears there, people. No tears. Her entire role was to sit there and cry – how did the True Blood crew manage to find an actress who can’t effing cry?
Full Story »True Blood: Night on the Sun
They killed my Cooter!” I want that for my ringtone. I’ll cut it with Nina Garcia’s disdainful, weekly recitation of “It’s not sophisticated” on Project Runway. Most awesome ringtone ever.
Full Story »True Blood: Hitting the Ground
Sometimes I want to smack the hell out of people for the relationship decisions they make. Today, I’d like to smack Alcide for fawning all over Debbie. I’d also like to smack him for putting on pants.

by Juliana Weiss-Roessler After getting up at 5 am yesterday, I decided to let myself sleep in this morning — that was a mistake. By the time I got to the Ballroom 20 line, it was already winding its way around the building. I resigned myself to the fact that I would miss the first [...]
